Meaning / Purpose
- Probus was founded in 1965 in Great Britain by a member of Rotary Club Caterham: Harold Blanchard.
- Probus is a multidisciplinary association of individuals, who carry an academic degree and / or had a management position in their working lives and who have reached the age at which they largely left behind their societal functions.
- Many have experienced, upon leaving the active working life, how fragile the friendship is and how fast the indispensable professional relationship turns into obscurity. Probus offers them the possibility of new and lasting close friendship ties.
- These individuals with different political, philosophical or religious beliefs strive to meet regularly to create mutual friendship ties and experience their post professional life years wise and meaningful together in a relaxed spirit of friendship and mutual understanding.
- Each Probusclub leads an independent life, it is not a service club and has no commercial nor advertising purposes. A mutual friendship tie with other organizations, both regionally, nationally and internationally, through the CIC (Coordination and Information Centre) Probus Belgium.
